The new appointments include:

•Khalid Albinfalah has been appointed to the role of general manager of SA Mena Avionics, Mena Aerospace’s aircraft avionics installation and repair division.

Eisenschmid has been part of the group’s management team since the company’s founding in 2004. He was instrumental in establishing Mena Aerospace and the subsidiaries, the statement said.

Dr Mohamed Juman, Mena Aerospace’s managing director said: “We are pleased with the progress our business units have made in Bahrain. However, like most companies, we need to focus on markets throughout the region. With these appointments, we are aligning our key management structure in a way that allows us to focus on the regional and international aviation business opportunities whilst solidifying our base in Bahrain. These changes will allow us to expand our service offering and markets in a manageable and measured manner.” – TradeArabia News Service
